Cowboy Boots on eBay

If you’re not on my mailing list, you may not know that I’ve updated my eBay pages with some groovy new searches, like…

The photo of “gas pump” cowboy boots is courtesy of ebay seller “ldpndp.” Aren’t those boots somethin’?

Kowboyz

I remember the first time I actually FELT LIKE A COWBOY BOOT EXPERT. It was when Evan Voyles held up a boot and said “Do you know who made this boot?”

And I did.

Not only that… but, I could tell the bootmaker and the where Evan had bought the boot just by looking at the sole.

That’s when I knew I had met enough makers and peered into enough cowboy boots to call myself an expert…and now when the newspapers and magazines printed it, I believe it’s true.

Clues:

  • You can tell from the lightning bolts inked on the sole… this cowboy boot was made by Pascal (Riff Raff Leather.) There is also a pirate ship stamped inside the boot on its heel slide.
  • You can tell by the big ol’ “red ink” size and price…the boots were purchased at Kowboyz, a vintage cowboy boot shop once located in Los Angeles, now recently moved to Santa Fe, NM.

Here’s a great article about Kowboyz… full of dishy Hollywood-style namedropping. And yes, that’s $99 for a “custom” boot made of nubuck and foil leather… you really oughta pay Kowboyz a visit.
